.AVI files and Movie Maker

microsoft.public.windows.vista.music pictures video

I have Vista Ultimate.
I took several clips with my casio digital camera, which records .avi files.
When I try to import these clips to Movie Maker to make one larger clip or
add music, etc, I get an error message saying "Unspeciffied error"

You can download a free little utility, GSpot (use Google) that will analyze
your clips and tell you if you have the proper codec installed.

P.S. Whatever you do, avoid downloading any "codec packs" -- they can cause
many problems that are hard to diagnose and difficult to resolve. AVI is just a
"wrapper" and can use several codecs. Download and install codecs ONLY from the
manufacturer of the codec.
